Frequently asked questions
How do I hire engineers and technicians from abroad?
In three steps: recognition of the qualification (via ZAB/anabin, or professional recognition for regulated trades), a visa or EU Blue Card, and proof of German. TalentSure manages the whole process from selection through integration.
What does it cost to recruit international skilled workers?
Total cost depends on source country, the recognition pathway and language preparation. Use our cost calculator to work out what an unfilled position really costs.
